My advice to you is to buy anything and everything for cheap. Bring them to the US and sell them for more money.

 

Don't buy any JDM Stereos. FM in Japan is from 76 - 90MHz.

If you want to look at Auto parts stores, two chain stores that come to mind are Autobacs and JMS (Pronounced James).
There's a magazine called Option and Option2 avail at most Japanese Bookstores. This is like Sport Compact Car or Turbo magazine in the U.S. It's in Japanese, but you'll still get a lot out of it.

Hope this helps.

 

Won't he be charged lots of duty/import tax when he shows up with his huge bum-load of spoilers and air dams at the border?

 

If you are a US Resident, you are entitled to bring back up to $400 worth of goods duty free. I've never brought back any more than this, so I don't know what the % is for the duties, so keep this in mind.

One thing you have going for you is that the U.S. dollar is relatively strong against the Japanese yen right now.
